The weather was dry and my skin dry as Ji amiri na Oku, even though I was sitting by the River side with both legs caressing the Salty water as I was singing the correct version of that Nursery rhyme "Standard living, standard living, standard living, standard living, standard living standard living, standard living as a.... That was when Ufele jump in with annoying voice, a voice cracked by too much munching of Cola used in appeasement to sing that corrupted version which says" Sandalili, Sandalili, Sandalili, Sandalili... As he was blabbing, I left him and dive into the water so I swam to the other side of the River, just to have a quiet time.
While I was engrossed with matters of jaundiced justice dished to Ikedioha,my mind was restless as I envision what if the Hope of our tomorrow when even Justice has been bastadized without care to what outer World think of us, while I was writing a reverse judgment in my head, Angel IKE OLISA appeared, with his always Red and blood Dripping Sword and say to me "Mkpisi Ndi Egede, since you went to Jerusalem, why haven't you wrote a piece about some of this great men back in the days before the advent of your Great grandise? "..
I ask him, LIKE WHO and he said DAVID as I turn to tell him that I have many troubles facing my people today, to worry about David who was a King and absolute Rich man back in the days and over 3,000 years ago in Isreal, he was gone like Powder in the wind.i wanted to be stiff necked but since I don't know why his sword is always dripping blood, I simply do not want to meet the Lord just yet... So out of self preservation, my Pen goes to work..
I tried to bury the thought and discussion but he must have planted it in my head as usual, it can only go away if I Pen down the piece.
So I opened the Book called the Bible, the Book of the greatest psalmist, the greatest King and He that was close enough to almighty...
Those of you who doesn't read Bible, the book is in Old testament..
1 Samuel 16...
11 Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all your sons here?” And he said, “There remains yet the youngest,[a] but behold, he is keeping the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and get him, for we will not sit down till he comes here.”
12 And he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy and had beautiful eyes and was handsome. And the Lord said, “Arise, anoint him, for this is he.”
13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers. And the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon David from that day forward. And Samuel rose up and went to Ramah... End..
As the Last Born David wasnt considered Nwa Daddy, he wasn't pampered nor pitied like we do this days, he wasn't in some school or at the Mothers bossom, he was sent out of the house alone to go and dwell with Wild Animals, that he ate or goes hunger wasn't a problem.
He wasn't considered good enough to be on the list of Sons of Jessi, that was why when Prophet Samuel demanded for all his Sons they did not mention him or brought him to answer, maybe they considered him a Girl or insignificant, but faith has a way to pay back...
After the Prophet had gone through the Men Considered Sons enough and found no Man in them, he has to ask the father "Is this all your Sons?", the implication includes ma Ndi Ezi, ma Ndi Ulo ", so reluctantly the Father remembered that he has a Son in David who was sent to dwell with Sheep out of the protection of the seniors.
The prophet made a pronouncement which nobody can alter, he said all must stand up, none will seat down until they brought David the forgotten Son.
I can bet my lunch(Akwa asuru asu, na Ofe Anu**Pounded Egg with Meat Soup***) that where David was must be few hours away, so the emissary that went to get him must have ran like OSAM BOLT making this episode to remind me of Nwata buru nmanwu Uzo ya na oso, nmanwu buru ya Uzo nkwukwu ezue ya aru (When a Child stay ahead of Masquerade he will be throttling with trepidation, but if the Masquerade is ahead of the child, the perspiration is unlimited), Both Father, Sons and even the Prophet stood for the abandoned boy to come and take his blessing..
That is how they will wait for us to come and take over the restoration of this tartarred and decayed Nation, none of them shall have peace until they stood up and wait for us to take over the paddling of the Boat.
When David entered many may have silently hated him for making them Stand, some will be relieved that finally the small Idiot is here and the Wiser empty bigger and better seniors will get to seat again, but the important factor is that all was awake and watching as the prophet brought out the Horn filled with Oil and annoint David.
The jealousy surpass the one that goes through Girls mind when her friend announce that He proposed and the Finacee has Class and Swag, forget the shining of teeth, many wants to take her position, but I digress..
So shall your enemies wait with hate as the good Lord annoint you with Oil of greatness and there won't be SUPREME COURT OF PERVERTED JUSTICE to scuttle it, as God's case, no appeal.
David wasnt trained in some Schools then, and do not tell me that there were no school because Saul was a Lawyer and they have Saduccess and Sanhindrin in Isreal who are Elites and Scholars, so David wasn't trained to be king or anything, but come with me and see how God plan his own education.
God made Saul to be Mad and all the Flavor playing Ukwu Sara Mbala can't make him okay, until they brought David to come and serve as his SA on MUSIC, do not forget that David wasn't known for his Music prowess, but his knowledge is sleeping with Sheep out in the open, so where did he learn the act of playing melodious tune that settle the restless mind and nerve of the King?
Only God can do that anyway..
After God lend him to Saul, so he can learn direct from the King, same God decided to show him to Isreal and the World, but what makes him God is that he is a compete Guy Man who does what he want without consultation..
He cause a War between Philistine and Isreal, prior such fight is War, just enter plain and start killing any Soldier from the other side..
Then God changed the manifest of War and the Rules of engagement, instead for the Soldiers to start hacking off heads from Neck, they decide that it should become WWE, they sent out thier own JOHN CENA and ask Isreal to bring theirs so only two can fight, if that was the case, they would've send others back home and let 2 Boys do the fighting.
Since Goliath entered the Field and Ndi Isreal saw he is a Giant that none of them can match him, they would've changed the game back to War, but they stayed Dumb, same way our enemies stayed Dumb even when the Herdsmen Goliath is maiming them as well, well for days both CNN, FOX NEWS, CABLE NEWS, ALJAZERAA were bringing to rest of the World breaking news "Goliath Threaten Isreal and no man in Isreal dare stand up"..
It was a painful moment.
The question remains who were the Isreal waiting for to come and rescue them?, since they knew they don't have the capacity and or a Man who can stand before the Giant...
I can tell you that God in his Funny way of being God arranged that, He even gave the Giant unbridled Tongue to insult God, after all the insult can't hurt God, which reminds me of mortal who will insult God and thinking you have hurt him, read my Lips...
Do you think that all the insults thrown at our President can ever hurt him?
So imagine, if our insults and name calling to Mr President can't hurt him, how on earth can it hurt an Omni who doesn't live around us?.
Throw whatever insult you have at God, it can't even go through your roof, talk less of getting to God, but if he wants to listen, he will send a small sickness and you will be hyperventilating.. But moving on..
While the World and both side of Divide where waiting for Isreal to rise up and say we surrender, that small Shepard from the Bush came bearing Food, kam jua during War do they send food from homes to battle field as if it is boarding school visit?.
David went to War Zone with lunch pack and even Soldiers manning the perimeter did not chase him away..
He heard the rabbling of the Giant and God decided to show the World the next king of Isreal, he allowed David to enter battle field against a Man 4 times his Size.
Had David wore that over sized military gear provided by King Saul, the argument would be that it was the gear that aided his victory, but he entered the field as he was empty and dry and isi Goliath SOLU ya...
When he came out charging toward the Giant with bare hand and without any protection of any kind, all the TV commentators where asking who is that comedian?, had my old man stood with them he would ask "Mmadu onokwo na ulo, ma Nwa apua? (Is there anybody at home when this boy stroll out?) .
Goliath was shocked that he ask for Fight and they send him an IDIOT, so he swore to share David to birds of the Air and that meeting brought all eyes toward them and all the soldiers will be asking who is that Daft?..
All attention were on David and the mercies of Goliath, but lo and behold, David turned the cart and left the Field with the Head of Goliath in his arms.
That day God announced him to the World and the World knew his name, his legend, his popularity supercede every other because he created his own legend.
He made that history because God ask him to go and he went, he would've argued on why he should be the one to send food to battle Field having in mind that he in King in waiting, but he knew that God has plans for him and he flowed God's map and was introduced to the World.
Forget women of Isreal that sang in his favor that Sauk killed thousand enemies but David tens of thousands.
God will announce you at his time, and don't worry when, how and why?..
He is God and he has his ways, that you don't like his ways doesn't change a thing.
He doesn't need to answer you or impress you in what he does, because he is not contesting election as God for the next Millennium, so you won't say he want your Vote...
He is not in need of your paper called money, so you won't say he is trying to impress you so you can give him money, if he wants your money, he will make you Deaf and Dumb and make you to give it and if you hesitate he will add Cripple to your condition and add Blindness if you tarry more.
I prophesy to you that God will lift you from no where to somewhere, like he did to David who wasn't ready, who wasn't prepared, who wasn't even good enough in his Family tree but from Field where he is a Shepherd to ordained King.
May the peace of the Lord that surpass human understanding guide and protect his from now till he turn aju for us.
Have a blessed and blissful day from Mkpisi Ndi Egede.
